Thanks for sharing this with the members All-Or-Nothing. Had that issue back when I had my 540. The power our cars put out can rip these things up quickly. I believe there is an after market version that is suppose to be stronger than the OEM part.
Also, we have the DIY section that we use to post stuff like this as well, it's just that you may have to do a bit more write ups and post it there.

Honestly I was going to do a complete write-up but then I got the car jacked up and saw what all had to be removed, then the heat outside started working my sweat glands overtime and I said forget it.

Labor here is DIRT, DIRT cheap and it only cost me $30 to have it replaced at a BMW shop. I did buy the part online for $60 bucks also. No brainer.

I plan on doing a complete write-up when I WRAP my car gloss black and all my other planned mods afterwards..
